Features: In recent years, the relationship between writers and critics has been discussed extensively. A common issue in these discussions is that the relationships between "creation and criticism" and "writers and critics" are either conflated or overshadowed by the latter. In reality, there is a distinction between the two, which lies in the added element of "human factors" in the latter. The significance of distinguishing between these two lies in the fact that the relationship between creation and criticism is actually quite simple. However, when the "human factor" is introduced, it evolves into the relationship between writers and critics, making it no longer simple. Discussing creation and criticism under the guise of the relationship between writers and critics can easily lead to misinterpretations of the relationship between creation and criticism, creating a sense that the relationship between creation and criticism is on the verge of collapse. In reality, what is tense is not the relationship between creation and criticism, but rather the relationship between writers and critics.
